        // ====== Using the Context.getString() convenience method ===========

        // Using the getString() conevenience method, retrieve a string
        // resource that hapepns to have style information.  Note the use of
        // CharSequence instead of String so we don't lose the style info.
        cs = getText(R.string.styled_text);
        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.styled_text);
        tv.setText(cs);

        // Use the same resource, but convert it to a string, which causes it
        // to lose the style information.
        str = getString(R.string.styled_text);
        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.plain_text);
        tv.setText(str);

        // ====== Using the Resources object =================================
       
        // You might need to do this if your code is not in an activity.
        // For example View has a protected mContext field you can use.
        // In this case it's just 'this' since Activity is a context.
        Context context = this;

        // Get the Resources object from our context
        Resources res = context.getResources();

        // Get the string resource, like above.
        cs = res.getText(R.string.styled_text);
        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.res1);
        tv.setText(cs);

        // Note that the Resources class has methods like getColor(),
        // getDimen(), getDrawable() because themes are stored in resources.
        // You can use them, but you might want to take a look at the view
        // examples to see how to make custom widgets.
